...commercial prototype for a chip with "nonvolatile random-access memory" (NRAM), which means its chips won't forget how to run all its programs when the power is switched off. The technology uses arrays of 2-nm strands of carbon atoms, called carbon nanotubes, that convey electrons faster than copper and are 100 times as strong as steel at a fraction of the weight. Pairs of tubes store data by locking together when a current runs through them and stay together even when the computer power is switched off and back on. The tubes remain linked until separated...

But the signature dishes spring from Sakhalin's abundant bounty of fresh seafood, game, fruits and vegetables. Start with an appetizer of scallops bathed in a mustard sauce...
...puts out telepathic lines to her son. Then she knows he's all right. But the reiki alone doesn't work for her. On her hip, she carries a small .22-cal. Beretta pistol in a black holster. There's a spare clip of tiny bronze bullets with copper tips in her handbag...
